For the Living: Detroit Jewish Film Festival Screening
May 5 at 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
This is an off-site event and will take place at The Berman Center for the Performing Arts, located at 6600 West Maple in West Bloomfield.
In 1945, 10-year-old Holocaust survivor Marcel Zielinski made a 60-mile journey on foot from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Krakow in search of his family. Decades later, 250 cyclists retrace his path in a mission called Ride for the Living. This powerful documentary draws parallels between his experience and the cyclists’ journey to spark a conversation about the struggle between dehumanization and empathy.
A talk back with co-director Tim Roper and producer Lisa Effress will follow the screening. The film is 117 minutes long.
